Fleet
Bristow maintains an extensive fleet of helicopters to carry out its assignments worldwide.
Bristow classifies its helicopter fleet into three categories: small, medium and large.
Small helicopters hold 4 to 6 passengers and are better suited for smaller production facilities, daytime flights and shorter routes.
Medium helicopters hold up to 13 passengers and are the most versatile type of helicopter.
Large helicopters hold up to 20 passengers. They can fly longer distances and in harsher weather conditions.
Our fleet can be located anywhere around the world and can be readily transferred and deployed to any location as needed.
The composition of our wholly-owned fleet as of September 30, 2007 is as follows:
